Stepping Stones

About The Book What started out in 2006 as a poetry book discussing the stepping stones of life, has transformed into a storyboard of life itself. Since the original version of "Stepping Stones", Chad has married his long time girlfriend, who was the inspiration for many of the original poems in this compilation, and the couple now has a son. This prompted Chad to make a few changes, and add an additional poem titled "My Son" to complete the current stepping stones of his life.

This book develops the truth that the creation of the family was in God’s heart from before the foundations of the world were laid. In this time of tragic breakdown in the family and the moral decline in our society, the Father’s passion is to restore and reconcile the family back to Himself and to one another. His plan of restoration can be traced through the blood covenants in the Old Testament right up to the New Covenant, when Jesus came to shed His blood and reconcile us to the Father forever. It is time for the covenants to be reintroduced so that we can live our lives and raise our children to walk in covenant with the Living God. If we receive this revelation, we will no longer walk in fear and insecurity and will pass on this heritage of peace from generation to generation.

“The next best thing to actually seeing the prehistoric cave art of southern Franc[e] . . . A rapturous guide through five major Ice Age sites” (Archaeology). The cave art of France’s Dordogne region is world-famous for the mythology and beauty of its remarkable drawings and paintings. These ancient images of lively bison, horses, and mammoths, as well as symbols of all kinds, are fascinating touchstones in the development of human culture, demonstrating how far humankind has come and reminding us of the ties that bind us across the ages. Over more than twenty-five years of teaching and research, Christine Desdemaines-Hugon has become an unrivaled expert in the cave art and artists of the Dordogne region. In Stepping-Stones she combines her expertise in both art and archaeology to convey an intimate understanding of the “cave experience.” Her keen insights communicate not only the incomparable artistic value of these works but also the near-spiritual impact of viewing them for oneself. Focusing on five fascinating sites, including the famed Font de Gaume and others that still remain open to the public, this book reveals striking similarities between art forms of the Paleolithic and works of modern artists and gives us a unique pathway toward understanding the culture of the Dordogne Paleolithic peoples and how it still touches our lives today. “Her vivid descriptions help readers visualize the Cro-Magnon man or woman painting the beautiful bison, horses, mammoths, and other symbols. [A] fine reading experience.” —Library Journal

Enormous strides have been made in this century, some of them advantageous and other detrimental. Science has developed so fast that we have conquered space as far as the moon and even further with unmanned rockets. The speed at which we are travelling hardly gives time to stop and look back on the previous year and make comparisons with the way of life. Not even a superman can predict what the world will be like in twelve months' time. These memories are offered as a breathing space for anyone who may have travelled over the same ground as I have and seen or done the same things. It may not have been a very profitable existence but nevertheless enjoyable and interesting.

It was always on the cards that the 'Age of Aquarius' would bring a heightened sense of awareness to humanity - whether we like it or not, and from personal inner work over the years I've no doubt that that the sediment being stirred up as a result of this awareness is causing mass discomfort and a much increased search for answers - answers given here in detail by someone who's spent forty years unwinding the mysteries that are at the back of life. Enter within and have corage to go deeper into yourself - there we will meet as kindred Souls and form part of an ever growing network of light that will, in the not too distant future restore paradise on Earth.

This true story began eleven years before Ann Paulson was ready to share the startling experiences that occurred over the next year and left her flabbergasted. Considering herself an “ordinary” Christian, she always believed there must be a heaven, but she never gave much thought to the idea that she had lived before. Then she began a very personal friendship with Jeshua, who the world knows a Jesus. Jeshua used Ann Paulson’s past lives to show her how God’s love accepts us as we are and flows through the ages in events and people, no matter who they are. The author found the things she was learning difficult, but she became curious enough to keep listening and do her own research. She shares her exciting discoveries about our changing times and the “school” we each attend when we are born to this life. Stepping Stones for the Heart is a comfortable reminder that God’s love is available to us whether we believe it or not, and that Jeshua and wise angels are always with us to help us along the way. Ann Paulson’s obedience to some insistent angels gives all of us the chance to learn more about why we are here and how we can do the most with our lives.
